Audition

Mkay. So this is like a Korean horror movie…
It starts out with this guy, and his wife passes away. Years later, his son mentions to him that he thinks that his father needs to get out, start dating, perhaps get married again.
So, the man, being a part of the movie industry, sets up an audition for a female lead role that describes what his ideal woman is. Obviously, he finds and falls in love with one of the women who auditioned. The first three quarters of the movie is them building up a relationship basically. We see a little bit into the girls past…which as more and more is revealed to us we find out that she’s had a fucked up childhood…then we figure out that SHE is pretty fucked up as well. It’s a really really slow beginning…they’re building up…and the “climax” is moderately surprising. Because it was advertised as a horror you kinda suspect something is going to happen.
But, when the climax does happen, it wasn’t really…disturbing enough for me :/
I know, I’m probably really fucked up. But I can deal with a really slow build up, but the big BAM better be big and worth it! It just feel short for me a little bit.
My thing is eyeballs…I cannot stannndddd stuff with eyeballs. And in part of her torture…she sticks pins under his eyeballs, and I almost wish they would have shown them getting put in! That would have made me cringe…
But, they didn’t so…ahh well…
One thing that I did love about the movie, and it was really really memorable for me, was what she was saying while she was putting the pins in various areas of his body. Every time she stuck one in she would kinda coo “kikireekireekireeeee…” and it was quite eerie.
Other than that…acting wasn’t fantastic…plot was mehh…wasn’t all that disturbing…
I felt a little bit let down.
